WELCOME

I love to eat. And anyone who knows me knows that I also love to feed. Unfortunately I'm not always in close proximity to the people who love to eat my food. So this website is for those who miss my cooking, or for those who are feeling adventurous and are looking for some new flavor in their kitchen.
A lot of these recipes are family recipes and you will be hard pressed to find them in your friendly neighborhood Indian restaurant. They are also pretty regionally specific, so if you happen to find yourself in a "Marathi" restaurant in Mumbai (the most culturally diverse city in India), you may see some familiar fare on the menu.
From time to time I will stray from Indian food; Thai, Italian, Middle Eastern. But I always find my way back!
I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do.
Eat Happy!

Bhindi Masala (Okra)


Ingredients:
1 lb okra, sliced into round sections
1 onion, diced
Whole spices (1 tsp mustard seeds)
Pinch of asofoteida (a.k.a. Hing)
1/2 tsp turmeric pwd
1 tsp chili pwd
1 tsp Tava fry masala/garam masala
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp Canola/vegetable oil

Cook:
Heat oil on medium heat.
Add mustard seeds and hing.
Once popped, add onions and saute until golden brown.
Add turmeric and chili pwds and mix well. Add okra and saute for 2 mins.
Cover and check every 2 mins, as okra cooks fast. If becomes stringy and sticky, then it is overcooked.
Once cooked, add tava fry masala, salt and sugar.
ENJOY!
